Members FreestyleIntruder Posted March 8, 2011 Members Share Posted March 8, 2011 I can't claim any particular expertise when it comes to the musical proclivities of large Felids. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkee1 Posted March 8, 2011 Members Share Posted March 8, 2011 Some people spend the rest of their lives listening only to the stuff that was big when they were 18......Words cannot convey how sorry I feel for them. I know you're half- joking, but 16 to 18 is when people wstablish a personality that is different than their parents, and start to develop their own tastes. Now, it is still largely shaped by their peers, but the music you listened to when you were 18 are usually the first things you picked completely on your own, and therefore have a large sentimental value to you.

Members The Lurker Posted March 8, 2011 Members Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yeah, but a lot of people stick with that two year period's worth of music for the rest of their lives, and never add anything new to it. It's the never-adding-anything-new part that's the depressing element. There are people who will be listening to the same music when they're 85 and in a nursing home. Though, I'd rather take a lawn dart to my ear drums than add PA broadcasts of Journey to the misery of bedpans and arthritis..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkee1 Posted March 9, 2011 Members Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yeah, but a lot of people stick with that two year period's worth of music for the rest of their lives, and never add anything new to it. True, but some people are idiots, and as Ron White reminds us, you can't fix stupid. MOST of us old farts listen to the new stuff too, and dig some Kings of Leon, or Jimmy Eat World, and dig some Far East Movement, and think Eminem has really come into his own, but every now and then just have to play "Renegade" or "Don't stop Believing" and sing at the top of our lungs!

Members El Glom-o Posted March 9, 2011 Members Share Posted March 9, 2011 Line dances...They LOVE line dances...WHY??? For the same reason as anybody else who likes line dancing.

Though, I'd rather take a lawn dart to my ear drums than add PA broadcasts of Journey to the misery of bedpans and arthritis..... Well, first off, I don't know anybody that only listens to a two year time period of music. If you had said a decade I might buy that. But even if you were right and it's two years here's the list of songs that would be playing on your favorite current hits radio station on any given day (and remember these would all be CURRENT songs all out in the same year). Joy to the World, Three Dog Night Maggie May, Rod StewartIt's Too Late/I Feel the Earth Move, Carole KingHow Can You Mend a Broken Heart?, Bee GeesTake Me Home, Country Roads, John DenverJust My Imagination (Running Away With Me), TemptationsKnock Three Times, DawnMe and Bobby McGee, Janis JoplinYou've Got a Friend, James TaylorBrown Sugar, Rolling StonesDo You Know What I Mean, Lee MichaelsThe Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Joan BaezAin't No Sunshine, Bill WithersSigns, Five Man Electrical BandShe's a Lady, Tom JonesTemptation Eyes, The Grass RootsSuperstar, CarpentersMy Sweet Lord / Isn't It a Pity, George HarrisonPut Your Hand In the Hand, OceanHelp Me Make It Through the Night, Sammi SmithRainy Days and Mondays, CarpentersIf You Could Read My Mind, Gordon LightfootGypsies, Tramps and Thieves, CherDon't Pull Your Love, Hamilton, Joe Frank and ReynoldsIt Don't Come Easy, Ringo StarrMr. Bojangles, Nitty Gritty Dirt BandThat's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be, Carly SimonIf You Really Love Me, Stevie WonderSpanish Harlem, Aretha FranklinI Don't Know How to Love Him, Helen ReddyProud Mary, Ike and Tina TurnerBeginnings/Color My World, ChicagoSweet City Woman, StampedersIf, BreadOne Toke Over the Line, Brewer and ShipleyI Just Want to Celebrate, Rare EarthWild World, Cat StevensWhen You're Hot, You're Hot, Jerry ReedWon't Get Fooled Again, WhoLove Her Madly, The DoorsRiders On the Storm, The DoorsIt's Impossible, Perry Como The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Roberta FlackAlone Again (Naturally), Gilbert O'SullivanAmerican Pie, Don McLeanWithout You, NilssonLean On Me, Bill WithersBaby Don't Get Hooked On Me, Mac DavisBrandy (You're A Fine Girl), Looking GlassHeart of Gold, Neil YoungLong Cool Woman (In a Black Dress), HolliesA Horse With No Name, AmericaEverybody Plays the Fool, Main IngredientLast Night I Didn't Get to Sleep At All, 5th DimensionNights In White Satin, Moody BluesGo All the Way, RaspberriesToo Late to Turn Back Now, Cornelius Brothers and Sister RoseSunshine (Go Away Today), Jonathan EdwardsDay After Day, BadfingerRocket Man, Elton JohnRockin' Robin, Michael JacksonMorning Has Broken, Cat StevensThe City Of New Orleans, Arlo GuthrieI Can See Clearly Now, Johnny NashBurning Love, Elvis PresleyHold Your Head Up, ArgentBang a Gong (Get It On), T. RexMother and Child Reunion, Paul SimonLayla, Derek and The Dominos63. Black and White, Three Dog NightYou Don't Mess Around With Jim, Jim CroceHot Rod Lincoln, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet AirmenAnticipation, Carly SimonNever Been to Spain, Three Dog NightKiss an Angel Good Morning, Charlie PrideSchool's Out, Alice CooperSaturday In the Park, ChicagoRoundabout, YesDoctor My Eyes, Jackson BrowneI'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony), New SeekersI'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Hillside Singers Now, you may or may not like all or any of these songs, but look at the variety of styles/genres that were getting played all on the same radio station. From Perry Como to Led Zeplin. Charlie Pride to Alice Cooper 1973 brought "Crockadile Rock", "American Band", "Frankenstein", "Drift Away", "Sunshine of My Life", "Superstition", "Loves Me Like A Rock", "Dancing In The Moonlight", "Long Train Running", "Daniel", "Smoke On The Water", "Reelin' In The Years", "Do It Again", "Ramblin Man", "Angie", "Money (Pink Floyd)", All these songs are from 1971 - 1973. I was 17/18 and it was my senior year in High School and the year after. I personally don't listen to much of the music listed here (from when I was 18, I listen to more later 70's and 80's music then anything else. But, back then, any two year period produced more great music then the last two DECADES have. Perhaps that's why we/they seem stuck in the past and I don't think there's anything to be sorry about. In fact, I feel sorry for you if you didn't experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
